@lillycoyote you could be wrong, i read an interesting article about their capabilities, for example they manufacture their own weapons, they have one million standing army, they have highly motivated special forces, they have amply stocked, sprawling tunnel networks systems that aren’t affected by EMP pulse, several airbases all underground, entrances facing North to avoid a direct hit. They have tank regiments, the entire adult population has rudimentary weapons training. They have missile systems that are potentially nuclear, they have decent submarines, that we do know. and a modest navy, but no aircraft carrier. They have been preparing for war for years and are dug in like an Alabama tick, and last but by no means least they have China :) so i’m assuming they aren’t going to roll over.
But it is scary, i disagree that they would be steam rolled, but it is hard to deny American firepower, Artillery may be crude but it is manoeuvrable and effective, but the concept of civilian casualties makes me sick to the stomach. North Korea must abandon any hope of reunification on it’s terms, that is ridiculous. America should withdraw, quietly and let North Korea devolve in good time. Personally i think they need their heads banged together. North Korea should do what is best for it’s people. Cuba has had to adapt in order to feed it’s population which is more important than the military, So North Korea has to change.
